Initially HR told that they can offer visa sponsorship and moved me to next technical round of interviews. After 2 round of interviews when the technical panel and the hiring manager was very happy with me as I was exactly in line with their requirement, it was silence for more than 2 weeks with no communication from HR. After couple of follow ups I was told that even though I was good they went ahead with local candidate as they need not worry about the visa sponsorship. When it was made clear in the screening round itslef that I needed visa to work for the company and giving all the interview, response from them is not what I expected.

Diverse team interviewed me for my role. I would say the interview process from start to offer was a great experience. While Palo Alto took almost a month to reach out to me via a phone call for the recruiter call, the entire process that followed took only 2-3 weeks before we finalised the offer. The Talent Acquisition team took extra care to share the feedback from the interview panel, and took steps to ensure I felt confident with the offer. Needless to say, I accepted the offer without hesitation. This pleasant interview experience speaks volumes about Palo Alto Networks. I'm excited to start my career here.
